I got a nomination for director, which means the world to me it's just the most exciting thing for me and my family. You do the good hard work, and the rest of it is something you shouldn't get too caught up in, but when it happens - boy! I respect it.

David O. Russell

William Faulkner

There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
